RESURRECTION (UK)

Plain Or Salted (Pilgrim 434) 1977 UK *

Easygoing country-edged folk/pop from five young British ladies, with assistance from Parchment. Their unison singing can be mildly pleasant, sometimes recalling girl group harmonies of the ‘60s. The musical arrangements are simple and competent, if unchallenging. Includes a cover of Oden Fong’s ‘Once I Had A Dream’, plus Danny Lee’s ‘I’ll Be Back Again’, Bob Cull’s ‘You’re Enough’ and Len Magee’s ‘Jesus Sets Me Free’. In fact if five girls were to sing lead on one of Magee’s albums it would sound a lot like this. (The Archivist by Ken Scott, 4th Edition).

Wow! What can I say. Everytime I read a review by Sir Scott, I am totally blown away. Primarily because I have not listened to a Len McGee album in years, and secondarily because it makes me thing of 'A Warm September Day in Summer '69' by Pat Berning… oh, you are doing serious damage to my thirst for folk-rock. What am I to do ? Resurrection! Soli Deo Gloria!
